Kingsley Club

Kingsley Club is a private golf course located near Kingsley, Michigan. Opened in 2001 with the motto "In the spirit of the game", the course is private. Facilities Unlike many modern courses with extravagant clubhouses, the Kingsley Club's facilities are relatively low-key; the course is located on a dirt road (which narrows to a single lane at one point) well away from the nearest highway. The clubhouse holds just a small pro shop and food service area. Cottages overlooking the 17th hole are available for rental to members. The course features a practice putting green and driving range. Golfers can either walk the course or ride in electric carts, and forecaddies are available for player assistance. Course Designed to evoke links-style golf from the British Isles, the course is covered with rolling hills of natural terrain and more than 120 bunkers. Course designer Mike DeVries used much of the natural landscape to shape the course, moving only about 20,000 cubic yards (15,000 m3) of earth during construction; one member described the natural construction of the course by saying "They found the course on the land. They moved only a little dirt to uncover it." The member tees are a mixture of championship tees (holes 2, 4, 8, 11, 13, and 18) and blue tees. The par-3 ninth hole has two separate sets of tee boxes; the longer tees approach the green from the south, the shorter from the west. In 2013, Golfweek magazine ranked the course the 24th on its list of the best modern courses. Links Magazine placed the course as the 57th best course in the United States References External links Hole-by-hole review of Kingsley Club Archived 2014-03-16 at the Wayback Machine Golf Digest "Where's Matty G" travel blog visits northern Michigan

North Manitou Shoal Light Station

The North Manitou Shoal Light, also known as the North Manitou Light or, locally, The Crib, is a lighthouse located in Lake Michigan, southeast of North Manitou Island in Leland Township, Michigan. When it was automated in 1980, it was the last manned offshore light in the Great Lakes. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. History In 1907, the Lighthouse Board recommended that the shoal north of North Manitou Island be marked with a lightship. In 1910, Lightship No. 56 was stationed at the site, and continued there until 1927, when it was replaced by Lightship No. 89. In 1934, Lightship No. 103 was transferred to the location, and stayed until the permanent structure was built the next year. In 1923, the Lighthouse Board first proposed replacing the lightships with a permanent station. However, funds were not allocated for the purpose until 1933, when they were made available through the Public Works Administration. In 1935, the permanent steel light station was constructed on the shoal in 26 feet (7.9 m) of water. The station was originally manned by a three-man crew, but in 1980 the light was automated and the station abandoned. The original Westinghouse Airway Beacon light was changed and replaced several times over the years, and is currently a solar and battery powered LED beacon. in late 2016, the lighthouse was put up for public auction by the General Services Administration. The non-profit North Manitou Light Keepers, Inc. purchased the lighthouse at auction and have undertaken a total restoration of the lighthouse. Description The North Manitou Shoal Light Station is a white square steel structure atop a concrete crib. The crib measures 65 feet (20 m) on a side, and supports a 62 feet (19 m) square superstructure rising 20 feet (6.1 m) above the water. A two-story steel building 37 feet (11 m) square, containing diesel generators and living quarters, sits atop the superstructure, and a three-story steel tower containing the light caps the whole. The steel portion is 63 feet (19 m) tall and the light is positioned 79 feet (24 m) above the water. References External links North Manitou Light Keepers, Inc.

Phare de l'île Manitou du Nord

Le phare de l'île Manitou du Nord (en anglais : North Manitou Island Lighthouse), est un phare du lac Michigan, situé sur un récif au sud-est de l'île Manitou du Nord, dans le Comté de Leelanau, Michigan. Lorsqu'il a été automatisé en 1980, il s'agissait du dernier feu au large habité dans les Grands Lacs. Ce phare est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 6 septembre 2005 sous le n° 5000981. Historique En 1907, l'United States Lighthouse Board a recommandé que le haut-fond au nord de l'île Manitou du Nord soit signalé par un bateau-phare. En 1910, le bateau-phare n°56 fut stationné sur le site jusqu'en 1927, date à laquelle il a été remplacé par le bateau-phare n°89. En 1934, le bateau-phare Huron (LV-103) a été transféré à l'emplacement et est resté jusqu'à ce que la structure permanente soit construite l'année suivante. En 1923, le Lighthouse Board avait déjà proposé de remplacer les bateaux-phares par une station permanente. Cependant, les fonds n'ont été alloués à cette fin qu'en 1933, lorsqu'ils ont été mis à disposition par l'intermédiaire de la Public Works Administration. En 1935, le phare permanent en acier a été construit sur le haut-fond dans 8 m d'eau. La station était à l'origine occupée par une équipe de trois hommes, mais en 1980, la lumière a été automatisée et la station a été abandonnée. La lumière originale de la Westinghouse Airway Beacon a été changée et remplacée plusieurs fois au fil des ans, et est actuellement une balise LED solaire et alimentée par batterie. fin 2016, le phare a été mis aux enchères par la General Services Administration. L'organisme sans but lucratif North Manitou Light Keepers, Inc. a acheté le phare aux enchères et a entrepris une restauration totale du phare. Description Le phare est une tour carrée en acier de 3 étages, avec galerie et lanterne, s'élevant d'une maison de gardien en acier de 2 étages, de 19 m de haut. La tour est peinte en blanc et la lanterne est noire. Il émet, à une hauteur focale de 24 m, un flash blanc de 1.5 secondes par période de 15 secondes. Sa portée est de 12 milles nautiques (environ 22 km). Il est équipé d'une corne de brume émettant deux souffles de 3 secondes par période de 20 secondes, au besoin et d'un transpondeur radar émettant la lettre N en morse.

John Pulcipher House

The John Pulcipher House, also known as the Country Hermitage Bed & Breakfast, is a private house located at 7710 US 31 North, in Acme Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. History John Pulcipher was born in Jefferson County, New York in 1838, the son of Edwin and Matilda Pulcipher. In 1855, he moved with his family to homestead on a farm located across the road from where this house now stands. He married Mary Ann Hoover in 1869; the couple had four children. In 1874, Pucipher purchased the original farm, and in 1883 he built this house for $2000. A summer kitchen addition was constructed in 1895. It was continuously inhabited until 1964, when John's niece Jessie died.

Sleeping Bear Inn

The Sleeping Bear Inn, also known as the Glen Haven Inn, is a hotel located on Glenn Haven Road in Glen Haven, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1996 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. History This inn, originally called the "Sleeping Bear House," was built in 1857 by C.C. McCarthy, using standard plans. McCarthy also built a sawmill nearby. Development in the area slowed during the Civil War, but after the war's conclusion settlement in the area boomed. In 1865, McCarthy built a dock nearby, and the protected harbor of Glen Haven began to be used as a stop. The Sleeping Bear Inn served as a boarding house for the dock workers and lumberjacks who worked in the area, as well as an inn for passengers travelling on the steamships. It also served as a stopping point for settlers moving into the area. A rear addition was constructed around this time. In 1878, Philo Chamberlain, president of the Northern Transit Company steamship line, acquired the inn and the rest of the properties in Glen Haven to assure an adequate wooding stop for the company's vessels. Chamberlain chose D. H. Day as his local agent. Day lived in the Sleeping Bear Inn until his marriage in 1889. In the meantime, he purchased the village of Glen Haven from Chamberlain, including the Inn, and opened a general store nearby. As tourism increased, the Sleeping Bear Inn became more of a resort hotel. The porch was enclosed in 1928. However, usage eventually declined, and the Inn was closed in 1973. The National Park Service purchased the properties in Glen Haven in the mid-1970s, and used the inn as a dormitory for a time. As of 2013, the NOS was seeking proposals for adaptive reuse of the building. Description The Sleeping Bear Inn is a two-story side gable frame building sided with clapboards. A rear addition was constructed later, as was an enclosed porch on the north and east sides. References
Tivadar and Dorothy Balogh House

The Tivadar and Dorothy Balogh House is a private house located at 49800 Joy Road in Plymouth Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. History Tivadar Balogh was born in Detroit in 1926. He served in the United States Navy during World War II, and afterward attended the University of Michigan on a track scholarship. Balogh graduated in 1952 with a degree in architecture; during and after his college career he worked for a string of architectural firms in the area, including Earl Confer; O'Dell, Hewlett & Luckenbach; Robert Metcalf; Shreve, Walker & Associates; and W. B. Ford Design Associates. With the onset of the Korean War, Balogh returned to the Navy for another tour. After returning to Michigan, Balogh married school teacher Dorothy Bleimeister and began working in Ann Arbor. In 1954, he joined the office of Robert C. Metcalf, where he worked until 1960. In 1958, Balogh purchased the three-acre wooded lot which this house sits on, and designed this house for himself, his wife, Dorothy and their family. The house was constructed in 1958–59. The cost of construction was approximately $32,000, although the Baloghs saved some costs by performing a lot of work themselves. In 1961, Balogh began his own architectural practice, where he designed approximately 150 residential, institutional and commercial structures in Michigan, Illinois, and Arizona. Balogh also taught at the University of Michigan's College of Architecture and served on various local planning commissions. He retired in 1997 and died in 2006. Dorothy Balogh continued to reside in the house until her death in 2019. Description The Balogh House is set back from the road on a heavily wooded lot along a dirt road. The house is a two-story cubic structure, roughly square in plan, and clad in redwood siding. The house sits on a partial basement on one side and support posts on the other side. The section beneath the house was originally open, and used for parking; the space beneath gives the house an impressive "lightness" and makes it appear to hover above the landscape. The dramaticness of the house has been reduced due to the infilling of the underneath to create a new room. The house is entered by a simple cantilevered stairway that ends in an open section of the house's volume. The interior contains 1,600 square feet (150 m2) of living space spread over three levels (including an unfinished basement and office space at grade level). The first floor contains a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and a two-story living room, along with an open stair in the center of the building. The second floor contains two bedrooms and a bathroom. Interior walls are primarily covered with Douglas fir boards. References
William Treadwell House

The William Treadwell House, also known as the Bruce Coleman House, is a private house located at 446 North Meridian Road in Hudson, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. History William Treadwell grew up in Hudson, and began his career as a dry goods clerk. He later began working in the People's State Bank in Hudson to learn the business, and in 1859, William and his father Urias purchased the bank, with William providing the management and his father the capital. In 1862 William Treadwell married Mary Hester, and around the same time he began building this house. However, in early 1864, William Treadwell concocted a scheme to embezzle money from the bank, and on January 20, left town with $66,000 in his suitcase. Three weeks later he was caught in Ohio with his wife and in-laws and returned to Michigan, where he was tried and convicted. On the afternoon of his sentencing, Treadwell escaped jail with an accomplice. The accomplice later murdered Treadwell for the money in his pocket; Treadwell's body was found in the woods two weeks later. Treadwell never occupied the house he had built. The William Treadwell House is currently a private residence. Description The William Treadwell House is a two-story brick Italian Villa structure on a cut stone foundation. Two bays balance the main mass of the house, and it is surmounted by a gable roof. External architectural embellishments include elaborate brackets, wrought iron railings, rounded arch windows and doorways, and a two-tiered, square tower. Although the interior has been extensively altered, the exterior remains original. References
